I'm right in the middle of rediscovering my Wii. The system. I missed a LOT of good games and now I'm trying to make up for lost time. Fortunately, a lot of games can be rented at my grocery store so when The Last Story is done, I'm gonna check out a couple Mario games and the Metroid Trilogy. I only played the first GC Metroid game. So that'll probably keep me busy until the XBox One comes out. And then I get a game for that? I really haven't figured out why I'm buying this system yet.

Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues and all the innovation fans expect from EA Sports.

Microsoft is failing to acknowledge smaller studios and indie developers at a business level, according to Oddworld Inhabitant co-founder Lorne Lanning, who has said "it doesn't seem like any of the little guys are on the radar".

A verdict has been reached in the lawsuit between original Madden programmer Robin Antonick and EA, awarding Antonick more than $11 million in damages. The verdict also opens the door for Antonick to pursue the same claims against EA for games released after 1996, where revenues exceed $3 billion.

Antonick developed the first Madden title in 1988 for MS-DOS, Commodore, and Apple II platforms. In 2011, he sued EA for millions of dollars of unpaid royalties, claiming that the contract he signed with the publisher in 1986 stipulated he should be paid royalties not only for the games he developed, but any derivative works.

After three days of deliberations, a jury in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California found that several EA games published between 1990-1996 were "virtually identical" to Antonick's original version of Madden NFL Football.
